I figured out my problem, I just read all 71 pages of the other thread and my mouse wasn't working because I had windowsblinds loaded. After I unloaded it it worked fine.

Perhaps you should add this small peice of info to the guide?

p.s. excellent guide (Y)

Tells me that theres no SDL.dll... where do I find that?

here ..

you prolly will need openvpn too for network support .. get it from here ..

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/openvpn...ll.exe?download

when you are installing openvpn .. only keep TAP-Win32 Virtual Ethernet Adapter and remove everything else from the list.

You don't need to totally disable windoblinds just add it to per application setting and choose the box not to skin it.

I followed the instructions and successfully got it opening up but once it shows the Mac logo in the middle it says. "JITC Warning, program exception: 00080000 00000000"

Can anyone help me out? :( I'm using OSX 10.3, and in the guide, it says it works for 10.3 as well.

Searched the forum about the error, found some solutions but didn't seem to help.

I have it working fine, I had to use the 6Gb partition though because I couldn't get the fonts and languages unticked like Elite_graphix.

It runs reasonably smooth, it's slightly jerky but still usable.

Later on this week I am going to find some time to try and get the networking working and see if I can surf the net with it.

      The current Statcoungter desktop numbers has Google Chrome increasing it's market share this past year and currently commanding 75% share. Everybody else is just making up the numbers with even MS Edge losing 3% this past year and has dipped just below 10% share which is staggering considering it's default on every Windows deviced purchased. If these numbers are correct that terrible Edge number is both devastating and embarrassing for MS especially when you add in the terribly low Bing market share. This leads me to ask a couple of questions as the default browser holding just less than 10% market share seems really weird. It used to be that all Chromium browsers were being counted as Google Chrome in some cases.  Is this still happening? Do these high Google Chrome numbers contains some Edge user numbers?

      Yeah, all web browsers seem to have some junk in them these days. The regular Brave browser has a lot of unnecessary stuff in it, similar to Microsoft Edge, so I don't see any benefits of using Brave over Microsoft Edge if you already have Microsoft Edge fully set up with ad blockers and that. The cleanest or best free browser outside of 'Microsoft Edge' I’ve tried so far is 'Samsung Browser'. It has very little bloat and is a nice-looking web browser with an inbuilt 'Ad blocker'. I also really like the web browser called 'Floorp' that is based on Firefox. This browser can also install Chrome extensions. I have a system wide Ad blocking program for Windows 11 that doesn't just blocks ads in the web browser, but over the whole system. I don't really need a web browser with an inbuilt ad blocker because of that.
